Daily Productive Sharing 1155 - Go Deeper
One helpful tip per day:)
Do you buy books in heaps but read them at a snail’s pace? David Cain suggests we focus on fully exploring what we already have:
- The theme of a Depth Year is "Go deeper, not wider"—to delve into value and richness rather than spreading yourself thin.
- A key part of the maturing process in a Depth Year is learning to live without the constant “little highs” from starting something new.
- When you buy a book, you pretend it’s because you want to read it. But the truth is, you often desire a new book more than the unread ones you already own—books you purchased months ago under the same pretense, which gave you the same fleeting thrill of acquisition.
- Going deeper requires patience, practice, and the ability to remain engaged even during uneventful periods.
- When we give ourselves fewer points of excitement, we dig deeper, uncovering rarer and more valuable insights compared to the surface-level discoveries we usually settle for.

你是否买书如山倒，读书如抽丝？就此，David Cain 建议我们认真探索已有的事物：
- 深度年的主题是 “深耕，而非扩展” -- 深入挖掘价值和丰富性，而不是四处撒网；
- 深度年的成熟过程很大一部分是学会在没有经常性的“小确幸”的情况下生活；
- 当你买一本书时，假装自己是为了读它。然而事实是，你更想要一本新书，而不是去读你早已拥有的未读书籍——这些书也是几个月前以同样的借口买下的，而当时也带来了同样短暂的购买快感。
- 深入需要耐心、练习，以及在没什么新鲜事物发生的时间段里仍能投入其中的能力；
- 当我们为自己设定更少的兴奋点时，我们会更深入，而我们发掘到的东西比通常浮于表面的内容更稀有、更有价值。
